The devestating situation that Hurricane Helene has caused has been on our mind,as most or all of you have seen on the news that multiple states got hit but North Carolina took the blunt of it. FEMA and the US Military are working aimlessly to try and help everyone but as we know its just not possible. Its heartbreaking to say the least! We have been told that there’s a chance that multiple cities will be without water or power for a least a year, the hurricane took out their main water plant. There are multiple places being used as shelters because most of all houses have been destroyed completely, or they can't live in them. These people need our prayers more than anything! FEMA works to help and find everyone it's just not possible to get everywhere at the same time. We want to help however we can.
We are asking all of you for your help with this. We have been in contact with someone who is going to drive a U-Haul to North Carolina, and someone will fly the items to them. I know some of these items may not look important, but any bit helps.
